Re: mulchmaster renewal

Hi RED,how long a run do you get out of the drive wheels.
I’d like to get a spare drive belt as I’m on my second one plus is there any place that does a good deal on MM bulk blades as the local dealers here are wanting to get rich on these sales

I’m kinda eating my words here re mulchmaster but I’m going back to using it as my main mulching mower as the Honda HRU and HRX can’t leave the best finish on well manicured lawns where the MM turns it into dust,this is only showing itself as a problem during the dry seasons as the MM does what I need to show best results.During winter i go back to Honda for the extra hp

Re: mulchmaster renewal

l only bought new wheels as they were completely bald, l know blokes in Melbourne who are putting mountain bike tyre tread on their old wheels - l'll try that next time
Blades, l just hunt around online for the best deal l can find. l recently got new belts from allmowerspares, they're a Stens 248-036 kevlar belt 1/2" x 36".....buggers to get one, will see how they hold up
Will PM you too

Running standard (polyester) A section belts with 'reverse bend' ie serpentine path really shortens their life.
They cost a bit more, I think you could get a much longer life using a kevlar cogged belt as they are more flexible and much better at handling reverse bends.
